Re: Your Site really isnt that great..!!!
Friday, March 14, 2003 by Sweetbabygirl_03 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
ive been a fan of your website for some time now...wallpapers...icons...etc..and u still provide icons and cursors and stuff..But when you say you have the finest collection of wallpapers on the web..youre dead wrong..first of all you have to sign in ...and after about 100 wallpapers it pormpts you to become a full fledged member..themexp.org doesnt do that...you have mostly abstract and repeated wallpapers that have just been updated..themexp.org doesnt have that......what im saying is your wallpapers arent that great and your to picky about how one can obtain any wallpaper of their choice...themexp.org has awesome collections of everything and anything...more wallpapers than you..and doesnt require you to forcefully sign on to enjoy your viewing pleasure...In conlusion most of your wallpapers SUCK...you need to stop being so uptight about them...and last but not least when you put up a name for yourself like "the finest wallpapers on the web" dont forget there's always something better than yours...thank you and have a nice day...AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.....!!!!!

I agree that this IS the best skinning site. I even said so to a couple people who tried to tell me deskmod.com is. I love the people here. Nothing makes me mader than someone saying I suck or this site sucks. I am also starting from square one with skinning with the help of a few good people such as jafo helping me along. Hey sweetbabygirl there is a good saying you should learn:
If you have nothing nice to say keep your mouth shut.

Sorry MrGupps...I guess we just couldn't help ourselves! Thought the subject would get around to more things positive... no use in wasting a thread just when things started looking up...I kind of like the way people were starting to express themselves...I'm new, and like hearing from all the friends out there...Give this thread a chance, and see what happens...I see it going from bad to good... Oh, well that's only one mans thoughts

I had an idea...Why not get the FAMILY to tell us how they got started skinning, wallpapering,etc? As as a novice to all this, I think hearing from the "VETS" would be very helpful...It may just give us some insight into the troubles and how they fixed them...Some of the ups and downs...how they got over the "I WANT TO QUIT" stage, and so on... I think we all would look at this as a very positive project. How do you all feel about that? Enough said...Let's see what happens. Colt

Frogboy said: ~~~> ThemeXP is free when it's up though. "When it's up" Here's an email I sent them awhile ago. They never responded and I never went back. I discovered WinCustomize. This place rocks 
Your site has a sharp, modern look. Navigation is pretty straightforward. And your loaded with "tons" of cool graphics(Wallpapers, Boot Screens). I found links to your site on almost all the other sites relating to XP customizations.
One problem, for myself anyway.... At the risk of sounding mean , I am going to coin a phrase : "Blazing Slow" . My god ! I'm on a broadband connection. I pull download speeds of 100-300kbs . When YOUR pages finally loaded, if at all, and i found a graphic i wanted to check out... zzzzzzzzz. A 1.10mb file size was transferring at 600 bytes per second. Ummm what IS a byte anyway? I'm gonna ask my grandpa if he ever heard of a byte coz im not sure we still use 'em. Is that a metric thing?
Seriously though, i popped up other sites while i was waiting for yours to load. I even downloaded an 8mb update for my PC. so my connection is fine. I hope i dont sound like a snob but i really wanted to give your site a whirl and I just dont expect to live that long. I can check back in a day or so, maybe you guys had your own probs. I know a worm was chewing up the internet over the weekend.
If i come back to find your site at "normal" speed, i will email you my sincerest apologies. I'll even surf nude across the internet as penance for ranting at you. In the meantime, good luck.
Ok, i was annoyed and a little "mean" but, they really cant compete with HERE.

Hi everybody. Been quite a while.
Except for the argument of a 'limit on downloads', I don't think that the 'lady' in question has put forth any valid points to support her outburst. I think, we wallpaper creators (I couldn't think of a better term) wouldn't mind criticism, if it is constructive. A plain 'it sucks' earns just contempt, as it rightly deserves.
I liked a point that Lecrayon made that WC has many abstracts, spheres, etc and should move on towards more concrete stuff. But thats what art is all about... Making sense of an otherwise insane world... Looking for answers within questions...
I would prefer the term artists rather than skinners, because we ARE artists in the true sense of the word. We labour over a muse, might be virtual hence existant only in our minds, but we do feel ecstacy on its completion and its acceptance by our peers.
And whatever the 'lady' might say, I am proud that I contributed a bit to the 'stuff that sucks'.

Don't know where Sweetbaby girl (Mrs.) no less, got her nick but it must have been from a very beaten down husband. I don't care for Picasso but I don't rip the work!! It take me 100 looks to decide either.
